Menu has a large selection and they came by with their dim sum cart and offered us some selections. Their pork dumpling and beef bun was good. Pho: 3/5, spices were too fragrant and almost all I could taste from the soup. Bun Bo Hue: 4/5, a bit too sweet for my liking but still good! Beef fried rice: 5/5, star of the show! So good and cooked very well. Sichuan beef: 2/5, thought it was gonna be more Chinese infused but it was just stir fry. Garlic pork chops: 2/5, heard great things but this was okay and too sweet. Almost tasted like ice-cream. Overall, food was good and I wouldn't mind coming back.

They're sweet-and-sour chicken is my husband's favorite because they don't put the sauce on the chicken becomes on the side as it should. I really like their chow mein as well as their fried rice and their Kung pao chicken and Mongolian beef. I always get their food to go and they have a great to go set up... you walk in the door and they're ready for you. Charge your card. They have all the sauces and mustard available to grab as much as you like.... And also chopsticks.. Parking is super easy and their prices are very reasonable with large portions.

If we're going Tampa metro then that is a different review altogether. Yummy House is definitely yummy and worth the wait if you messed up and decided to stroll in here at 12pm on a sunday. That's probably the worst time to come in. Literally go any other time and you won't have to wait 30+ minutes for a table. Once you do get in, go extra hard on the dinner sun. The steamers are steaming and the dessert cart has plenty of goodies. Anything on the sizzling and clay pot menu is recommended as is their pan fried noodles and salt & pepper anything. Service is quick, the ambiance is a mix of industrial and Asian banquet. The parking is probably decent on most days, but on Sunday at 12pm; Yeah not so much...

Went to Yummy House bistro today for lunch. I've moved and haven't been back in years!…read more I can remember exceptional meals over the years and didn't know what to expect. The menu changed, the dim sum courts weren't there, the prices were not overly inflated, and my favorite dishes were as good as I remember them! Yes, inflation has slightly decreased the portions, the prices are slightly increased, but again I enjoyed my lunch! The menu was smaller, there is a lunch menu presented at the table which didn't happen in the past. Keep up with Chinese restaurants? I'll be back even though I've moved and it's like an hour away and I have to go alone unless I can convince somebody that maybe they really do like Chinese food I go alone I need to go alone Will do By the way, if you like Chinese food cooked with fresh ingredients and presented in reasonable portions this is this is your place! We'll definitely be making the drive more often even if it's just me alone in the car. Don't miss this place you'll be sorry.

I especially appreciated the pacing; the food arrived quickly but was staggered correctly, which is essential for a good dim sum experience. ​Highlights: ​Roast Duck: Savory with perfectly crispy skin and creamy fat. ​The Buns: We tried the Sesame Ball, Baked BBQ Pork, Pan-Fried Meat, and Green Tea Custard buns. They were all excellent--soft, fluffy, and balanced without being overly sweet. ​Must-Try: The BBQ Pork and Green Tea Custard buns were the standouts. ​So happy to have this gem nearby.

She also went to the back and gave us a variety of dessert options on a big platter! Ambiance was great! The whole place looks nice, spacious and CLEAN! They had a VARIETY of meats, seafood, noodles and veggies. There's also a sauce and salad bar with a Variety of dipping sauces to choose from... My favorite part was that I could mix up to 4 flavors of SOUP together. I mixed the Tomato and the Thai broth together and it was delicious! PRO TIP: Try squeezing some lemon or lime into the broth too ;) NINE SPICES HOTPOT did not disappoint!!!!!

It's solidly above average. But for $120 for two adults and a kid...I dunno. The meat is fatty, which is to be expected at a place like this. The seafood was good. Not a lot of variety on the conveyor belt sadly. Would have been nice to see some dumplings and other things on there besides mushrooms and noodles. Service was fine. Ambiance is also okay. Pro tip, skip the sushi, it's super mediocre. Diet Pepsi was surprisingly good. Not sure if I'll come back - there are better hot pot places in Tampa.
